Welcome Back!! I am very excited
to start my sixth year at Classical School. This is my tenth year
teaching in the Appleton Area School District. I have had so much
fun teaching here at Classical School, and I cannot wait to embark on another
year!
I am very familiar with this area as I
grew up in Appleton, Wisconsin. I began my schooling at Johnston
Elementary School, moved on to Madison Middle School, and finished up at
East High School in 1995. I continued my education at Winona State
University in Winona, Minnesota. I am certified to teach Elementary
and Middle School with a minor in Social Studies. I am excited and
lucky to say that I have had the opportunity to teach in all areas of my
certification since coming to the Appleton Area School District.
I began my teaching career at Edison Elementary teaching 4th grade.
After two years of a wonderful experience I transferred to Madison Middle
School. There, I taught 8th grade United States History. The
third switch, and my most favorite, brought me here to Classical School.
Friends and family are very important
to me, and I am very lucky to be surrounded by my family here in Appleton.
My husband, Ryan, our daughter, Ryley, and our dog, Bandit, enjoy spending
time with our family and friends as much as possible during our free time.
Our favorite activities are walking, playing outside, boating, camping,
and reading—Ryley is a VERY avid reader already! We are a very active
family, and we enjoy spending time with each other!
As you can see I am a very adventurous person who enjoys staying active! Currently, I am the Girls’ Varsity Volleyball Coach at Appleton West High School. I also am a coach and President/ Club Director for Appleton Excel Volleyball Club. My other interests include playing volleyball and softball myself, reading (lots and lots of reading), outside activities, spending time with my family and friends, and exercise. This will be my third year as Classical Schools’ Student Council Advisor.
As always, I look forward to another year
here at Classical School, and I cannot wait to meet your son or daughter.
I could not ever imagine doing anything besides teaching, and I work very
hard to try to do the best that I can for all my students and the students
of this school. This is a wonderful working and learning environment,
and I feel lucky to be a part of it!
